The present invention relates to an inspection system and an entrance management facility for judging the safety of a person and baggage.

It is common to use a metal detector or an X-ray inspection device to confirm the safety of people entering a security area such as an event venue or a building. For example, there is a case where the safety of baggage is inspected using an X-ray inspection apparatus, and the presence of a person and a metal object worn by the person is inspected using a metal detector. There exists patent document 1 as an example which uses such an inspection system for management of a visitor.

Japanese Patent No. 4528262

Patent Document 1 shows an application example to a gate of a metal detector and an X-ray inspection apparatus. However, Patent Document 1 is configured such that the inspection of the next visitor cannot be started unless the inspection of the person who has previously entered is completed. In order to enhance the convenience for the user, the throughput of the security check area is important. Therefore, when there is a person who takes a long time for the inspection, a configuration that greatly affects the subsequent visitors is not desirable. Therefore, if the previous person is not inspected, the next person cannot be inspected, resulting in a problem of reduced throughput.

<1. Basic configuration of inspection system>
In describing the embodiment, first, the basic configuration of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 1 is a hardware configuration diagram of the inspection system 100 of the present embodiment. The server computer 200 is a general computer having, for example, a processor 201, a storage device 202, an input device (input interface), and an output device (output interface) connected to each other. The storage device 202 is configured by any type of storage medium. For example, the storage device 202 may include a semiconductor memory and a hard disk drive.

In this example, the function unit such as the metal inspection result receiving unit 131, the X-ray inspection result receiving unit 132, the control unit 133, the guide information transmitting unit 134, and the control information transmitting unit 135 shown in FIG. This is realized by executing the processing program 203 stored in 202. In other words, in this example, the processing executed by each functional unit described above is actually executed by the processor 201 according to the instructions described in the processing program 203. The database 205 is included in the storage device 202.

The server computer 200 further includes a network interface device (NIF) 204 connected to the processor as an input interface and an output interface. The metal detector 110 and the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 are connected to the server computer 200 via the network interface apparatus 204, for example. Note that the metal detector 110 and the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 may be connected to the network interface apparatus 204 through contact detection. The server computer 200 also includes an information display device 300 as an output device. The information display device 300 may be attached to the server computer 200, or may be connected to the server computer 200 via the network interface device 204.

Note that the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 and the server computer 200 exist independently in the inspection system of the present embodiment, but a configuration in which the server computer 200 exists in the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 may be employed. The configuration of the inspection system may be configured by a single server computer 200, or may be configured by another computer in which any part of the input device, the output device, the processing device, and the storage device is connected via a network. May be.

In this embodiment, functions equivalent to the functions configured based on the processing program 203 can be realized by hardware such as FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). Such an embodiment is also included in the scope of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram of a planar layout of an admission management system 2000 using the inspection system 100 of the present embodiment. This entrance management system inspects a metal carried by a person who intends to enter from the left to the right in the figure with the metal detector 110 and inspects the person's baggage with the X-ray inspection apparatus 120. The admission management system 2000 includes the metal detector 110 and the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 shown in FIG. The X-ray inspection apparatus 120 includes two types of lanes, an OK lane 2001 and an NG lane 2002, as baggage transport destinations. This lane is, for example, a belt conveyor, which carries baggage on it and carries it from the left to the right in the figure.

The person who has passed through the metal detector 110 is guided to either the normal area 2003 or the re-inspection area 2004 according to the inspection result of the metal detector 110 and the inspection result of the X-ray inspection apparatus 120. In order to guide a person, for example, a guidance information display unit 142 that displays guidance information is arranged between the metal detector 110 and the normal area 2003. Further, for example, the lane control unit 124 is arranged along the OK lane 2001 and performs control for moving the load from the OK lane 2001 to the NG lane 2002. As a configuration for moving the cargo between the OK lane 2001 and the NG lane 2002, there are a method using a belt conveyor having a branching and line changing function, and a method of moving the baggage by a machine or manually.

2 is a flow line of a person whose inspection result of the metal detector 110 is normal and whose inspection result of the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 is normal. In this case, the person is guided to the normal area 2003, and the baggage that has passed through the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 is transported to the OK lane 2001, thereby being transported to the normal area 2003.

On the other hand, an arrow 2006 in FIG. 2 is a flow line of a person in which at least one of the inspection result of the metal detector 110 and the inspection result of the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 is abnormal. In this case, the person is guided to the reinspection area 2004, and the baggage that has passed through the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 is transported to the NG lane 2002, and thereby to the reinspection area 2004.

In other words, when the inspection result of the metal detector 110 is abnormal, the metal detector 110 is not re-inspected by the metal detector 110 but is guided to the re-inspection area 2004 and then re-inspected by the metal detector. 110 throughput is not impaired. Therefore, it is possible to solve the problem that the throughput is lowered because the next person cannot be inspected unless the previous person is inspected.

In addition, when determining the transport destination to the OK lane 2001 and the NG lane 2002 based only on the inspection result of the X-ray inspection apparatus 120, the baggage of a person with a normal inspection result of the metal detector 110 and the baggage of an abnormal person are detected. It will be mixed in the OK lane. At this time, if the inspection result of the metal detector 110 is abnormal and the inspection result of the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 is normal, the baggage of this person stays in the OK lane during the re-inspection of the metal detection of the person. become. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult for a person who has both normal inspection results of the metal detector 110 and the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 to pick up a package.

In the present invention, when the inspection result of the metal detector 110 is abnormal, the baggage is conveyed to the NG lane 2002 even if the result of the baggage inspection by the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 is normal. Therefore, this problem can also be solved.

FIG. 3A is an overall configuration diagram of the inspection system 100 of the present embodiment. The inspection system 100 of this embodiment includes a metal detector 110, an X-ray inspection apparatus 120, a server computer 200, and an information display apparatus 300.

The metal detector 110 includes a metal inspection unit 111 and a metal inspection result transmission unit 112. The metal inspection unit 111 inspects the person who has passed and the presence of metal worn by the person. In addition, a gate-type metal detector may be used, or a hand-held metal detector that a security guard holds in hand and contacts a person may be used.

The inspection result is transmitted from the metal inspection result transmitting unit 112 to the metal inspection result receiving unit 131 included in the server computer 200 via the NIF 204 (FIG. 1) by wireless or wired. At this time, it may be transmitted using a protocol such as HTTP, or may be transmitted using an output of contact detection.

The X-ray inspection apparatus 120 includes an X-ray inspection unit 121, an X-ray inspection result transmission unit 122, a lane control information reception unit 123, and a lane control unit 124.

The X-ray inspection unit 121 takes an X-ray image of the target baggage and determines the safety of the baggage. The inspector may visually check the X-ray image and input the result to the system, or obtain the material and shape from the dose information of the X-ray image and judge the safety by automatic determination. Also good. Further, as long as the baggage can be inspected, an apparatus other than the X-ray inspection apparatus may be used, or a system in which a guard opens and checks the baggage may be used.

The inspection result is transmitted from the X-ray inspection result transmitting unit 122 to the X-ray inspection result receiving unit 132 included in the server computer 200 via the NIF 204 (FIG. 1) by wireless or wired. At this time, it may be transmitted using a protocol such as HTTP, or may be transmitted using an output of contact detection. The operation of the lane control unit 124 will be described later.

The server computer 200 includes a metal inspection result reception unit 131, an X-ray inspection result reception unit 132, a control unit 133, a guide information transmission unit 134, and a control information transmission unit 135.

The control unit 133 associates the information received by the metal inspection result receiving unit 131 and the X-ray inspection result receiving unit 132, and generates guidance information and lane control information. There are various methods for associating. Using the fact that the timing of passing through the metal detector 110 and the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 is close, it means that the baggage inspected by the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 is the property of the person who has passed through the metal detector 110. Can be attached. Alternatively, a video of a person holding baggage in advance may be taken, and the metal detector 110 and the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 may be provided with a camera and linked by comparing the images. In addition, ID information representing a person who owns the information may be attached to a tray for storing a package to be inspected by the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 or the package itself, and linked to a person passing through the metal detector 110.

An example of linking using ID information will be described with reference to FIG. 3B. As a specific example, for example, an admission ticket 3000 possessed by a person is divided into halves by a cut line 3001. ID tags 3002A and 3002B having the same ID (for example, an admission ticket number) are embedded in each of the admission stub 3000A and the baggage stub 3000B. Before the inspection, the person carries the admission ticket stub 3000A and attaches the stub 3000B to the baggage or tray. The ID 3003 of the admission ticket 3000 is displayed on the admission ticket, and stored in advance in the storage device 202 of the server computer 200 as, for example, the database 205 and held as an admission ticket ID table. An ID tag reader can be added to the metal detector 110 and the X-ray inspection apparatus 120, the ID can be read simultaneously during the inspection, the inspection result and the ID can be sent to the server computer 200, and the data can be linked. .

Fig. 3C shows an example of the admission ticket ID table 4000. If the inspection result of the metal detector 110 of the person having the ID stub 3000A for the ID 3003 is normal, “OK” is assigned to the human normal flag 4001 for the ID. In addition, when the inspection result of the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 for the parcel with the ID stub 3000B attached to the ID 3003 is normal, “OK” is assigned to the item normal flag 4002 for the ID. To do. In FIG. 3C, the normal flag is indicated by “OK”. In addition, an abnormality flag may be given when it is determined that the inspection is not normal. The abnormality flag is indicated by “NG”. A blank indicates that the inspection has not been completed.

The guidance information 4003 for the person and the lane control information 4004 for handling the baggage are determined based on the states of the human normal flag 4001 and the mono normal flag 4002. As shown in the ID number “0005” in FIG. 3C, the metal inspection result is normal, “OK” is given to the human normal flag 4001, the X-ray inspection result is normal, and the mono normal flag 4002 is displayed. When “OK” is given, guidance information 4003 to the normal area 2003 and lane control information 4004 to the OK lane 2001 are generated. As shown in the ID numbers “0003”, “0006” to “0009”, when at least one of the metal inspection result and the X-ray inspection result is abnormal, the guidance information 4003 to the re-inspection area 2004 and the NG lane 2002 are displayed. Lane control information 4004 is generated.

If the metal detector 110 or the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 does not provide the necessary inspection results, such as ID numbers “0001”, “0002”, and “0004”, the final information of the guidance information 4003 and the lane control information 4004 is displayed. Cannot be judged. In the example of FIG. 3C, in this case, the guide information to the normal area and the lane control information to the OK lane are provisionally generated. However, other settings may be used. For example, provisional information for the reexamination area and lane control information for the NG lane may be generated provisionally.

Further, when the inspection by the metal detector 110 and the inspection by the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 can be performed almost simultaneously, the provisional generation of the guide information 4003 and the lane control information 4004 is not performed. It is also possible to generate information after waiting for necessary test results.

In the above explanation, it is assumed that a person is carrying baggage. When a person does not carry baggage, for example, when using the admission ticket 3000 of FIG. 3B, the following processing can be performed.

That is, a person who does not carry baggage carries both stub 3000A and stub 3000B without separating the admission ticket 3000. When the person is inspected by the metal detector 110 and the ID tag reader detects two ID tags 3002A and 3002B, the system determines that the person does not carry baggage, A mono normal flag is assigned to the ID number of the ID tag.

Alternatively, as another method, the stub 3000B is separated and placed in a predetermined box, the ID tag contained in the box is read by a dedicated ID tag reader, and the ID number read by the reader is read. The mono normal flag is assigned.

Alternatively, as another method, the stub 3000B is separated and only the stub 3000B is inspected by the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 in the same manner as normal baggage. Since the stub 3000B is naturally determined to be normal, a mono normal flag is assigned to the ID number.

The lane control unit 124 provided in the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 controls the lane based on the lane control information 4004 and transports the baggage after the inspection to the OK lane 2001 or the NG lane 2002. As shown in FIG. 2, the lane control unit 124 is disposed between the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 and the normal area 2003, for example. In the example of FIG. 3C, the baggage to which the abnormality flag is given by either the inspection by the metal detector 110 or the inspection by the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 is transported to the NG lane 2002. In the example of FIG. 3C, the lane control information 4004 is provisionally “OK” for unchecked baggage. Therefore, for example, when the normal object flag “OK” is assigned as in the ID number “0002”, but the inspection by the metal detector 110 is not completed, the metal detector 110 is temporarily transported to the OK lane 2001 to detect the metal. Depending on the inspection result at the machine 110, “OK” or “NG” of the lane control information 4004 is determined. For example, a tag reading device is added to the lane control unit 124, and the lane control information 4004 of the admission ticket ID table 4000 in FIG. Transport to. Therefore, it is assumed that the target ID is received by the lane control unit 124 from the control information transmission unit 135 via the lane control information reception unit 123. For example, the transfer may be performed by a robot, or when a target baggage approaches the vicinity of the lane control unit 124, a person in charge transfers from the OK lane 2001 to the NG lane 2002 manually by notifying with light or sound. May be.

In the above, the example using temporary lane control information 4004 as shown in FIG. 3C has been described. However, as described above, when the inspection by the metal detector 110 and the inspection by the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 can be performed almost simultaneously in time, the belt conveyor is used until both inspections are completed. It is possible to temporarily stop and eliminate the switching between the OK lane and the NG lane.

In the guidance information display unit 142, the guidance information receiving unit 141 displays guidance information for guiding a person to the normal area 2003 or the reexamination area 2004 based on the guidance information 4003 received from the guidance information transmitting unit 134. For example, a signage that can be seen by a person who has passed through the metal detector 110 may be installed, and a guidance destination may be displayed there, or an arrow-shaped LED may be embedded in the floor to indicate the direction to go next. You may display. Further, the destination may be instructed by voice or the like. The guidance information display unit 142 may be configured as a part of the information display device 300.

The guidance information display part 142 is arrange | positioned between the metal detector 110 and the normal area 2003, for example, as shown in FIG. For example, a tag reading device is added to the guidance information display unit 142, and a reexamination area is displayed at the timing when a person having an ID 3003 whose guidance information 4003 of the admission ticket ID table 4000 in FIG. 3C is “NG” approaches. A display for guiding to 2004 can be performed. For this reason, it is assumed that the target ID is received by the guide information receiving unit 141 from the guide information transmitting unit 134. At this time, the ID number may be displayed in order to clearly identify the person.

As another method, it is also possible to collectively display a person's guidance destination on the guidance information display unit 142. For example, in the situation of FIG. 3C, the guidance information display unit 142 reads “If you have an admission ticket with the following number, please go to the re-examination area. 0003, 0006, 0007, 0008, 0009. To display. Of course, it may be announced by voice instead of or together with the display.

In the above description, the provisional guidance information 4003 is used as shown in FIG. 3C. However, as described above, in the case where the inspection with the metal detector 110 and the inspection with the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 can be performed almost simultaneously in time, for example, metal is used until both inspections are completed. It is also possible to temporarily stop the progress of the person at the exit of the detector 110 and eliminate the destination change on the way. For this purpose, as shown in the ID number “0004” of FIG. 3C, the person normal flag 4001 is “OK”, but the person whose baggage inspection by the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 has not ended is “admission ticket 0004 number”. You can respond by displaying a message such as “Please pause.” In the case where it is guaranteed that the inspection by the metal detector 110 is performed one by one in order, there is no problem in operation even if the admission ticket number is not indicated.

<2. Flow chart of inspection>
FIG. 4 is a flowchart for the inspection system 100 of this embodiment to perform inspection. The inspection procedure will be described below according to this flowchart.

The safety is checked by the metal detector 110 (S401), and the flowchart branches according to the result (S402). If the result of the examination is normal, a human normal flag is set (S403).

The safety is inspected by the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 (S404), and the flowchart branches according to the result (S405). If the result of the inspection is normal, a mono normal flag is set (S406).

When both the human normal flag and the mono normal flag are set (S407), the baggage is transported to the OK lane 2001 (S408). Also, the visitor is guided to the normal area 2003 (S409). If most visitors are in this case, the OK lane 2001 may be constituted by a belt conveyor or the like that goes straight from the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 to the normal area 2003, and the NG lane 2002 is a belt that branches as an exception process. It can be composed of a conveyor or the like. Moreover, what is necessary is just to comprise so that a visitor may guide to the normal area 2003 according to a normal route display.

On the other hand, if either the human normal flag or the mono normal flag is not set (S407), it is checked whether the mono normal flag is set (S410). If the goods normal flag is set, a normal label is attached to the baggage tray or the baggage itself (S411). The tray may be provided with a seal, or the LED may be controlled if the tray has an LED. The normal label can be given manually by an attendant. Next, the baggage is transported to the NG lane (S412). The baggage transported to the NG lane is mixed with normal and abnormal items as a result of inspection by the X-ray inspection apparatus 120. Therefore, in order to re-inspect only abnormal items, labeling is performed as described above (S411). ) Is preferable. However, other methods may be used as long as the baggage opening guard who is waiting at the end of the conveyor of the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 is informed that the baggage is normal. For example, in the method using the above-described ID tag, it is possible to determine whether or not the mono normal flag is set by reading the ID. Therefore, it can be configured to issue an alarm if it is abnormal (or normal). In addition, without giving a label or the like to the tray itself, an image of the checked baggage may be sent to an information terminal held by the security guard, and the security guard may determine whether the baggage is normal or abnormal based on the image. .

Next, the owner of the baggage is guided to the re-inspection area (S413).

In the description of the flow in FIG. 4 and the like, the human normal flag and the mono normal flag are processed using only the “OK” information of the human normal flag 4001 and the mono normal flag 4002 in FIG. It is carried out. Although the generation timing of the human normal flag and the mono normal flag may be shifted, the determination in S407 may be performed after a predetermined waiting time after one normal flag is generated. Alternatively, as described with reference to FIG. 3C, when the normal flag is not obtained, it may be temporarily determined to be normal. Further, “NG” and “blank (undecided)” information shown in FIG. 3C may be further used.

<3. Inspection when there are multiple packages>
FIG. 5 is a flowchart for the inspection system of the present embodiment to inspect a plurality of baggage. The inspection procedure will be described below according to this flowchart.

The flow for inspecting a person or a baggage worn by the person is the same as in FIG. The metal detector 110 checks the safety (S501), and the flow branches according to the result (S502). If the result of the examination is normal, a human normal flag is set (S503).

The details of S504 and S505 for determining the safety of a plurality of packages by the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 will be described with reference to FIG. Only when it is determined that all the packages are normal, the mono normal flag is set (S506).

When both the human normal flag and the mono normal flag are set (S507), the baggage is transported to the OK lane (S508). Also, the visitor is guided to the normal area (S509).

On the other hand, when either the human normal flag or the mono normal flag is not set (S507), the baggage is transported to the NG lane (S510), and the visitor is guided to the reexamination area (S511).

FIG. 6 is a flowchart of S504 and S505 for determining the safety of a plurality of packages. Here, a case where there are two packages will be described. The processing flow is the same even when there are three or more packages.

The safety of the luggage 1 is inspected by the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 (S601), and it is determined whether it is normal (S602). If the package 1 is normal, a normal flag is set on the package 1 (S603). On the other hand, the safety of the luggage 2 is also inspected by the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 (S604), and it is determined whether it is normal (S605). If the luggage 2 is normal, a normal flag is set on the luggage 2 (S606).

If all the packages are flagged normal (S607), it is determined that all packages are normal (S608).

On the other hand, if the normal flag is not set for all the packages (S607), a normal label is given to the tray of the package for which the normal flag is set (S609), and it is determined that all the packages are not normal (S610).

By carrying out the above processing, if there is at least one hand baggage determined to be abnormal among the baggage carried by the visitor, all baggage will be transported to the NG lane and the visitor will be directed to the re-inspection area .

In the method using the ID tag described above, it is possible to divide the admission ticket into three or more and add a tag with the same ID to each. Alternatively, when there is only one stub for baggage, it can be dealt with by adding an ID tag to a tray or container for storing a plurality of baggage.

<4. Inspection when 3 destinations are present>
FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram of the layout of the inspection system in which there are three lanes of the transport destination. As shown in FIG. 1, a metal detector 110 and an X-ray inspection apparatus 120 are provided. The X-ray inspection apparatus 120 includes three types of lanes, an OK lane 2001, an NG lane 2002-1, and an NG lane 2002-2, as baggage transport destinations. A person who has passed through the metal detector 110 follows the guidance of the guidance information display unit 142 according to the inspection result of the metal detector 110 and the inspection result of the X-ray inspection apparatus 120, and the normal area, the re-inspection area 2004-1, You are guided to one of the inspection areas 2004-2.

7 is a flow line of a person whose inspection result of the metal detector 110 is normal and whose inspection result of the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 is normal. In this case, the person is guided to the normal area 2003, and the baggage that has passed through the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 is transported to the OK lane 2001.

7 is a flow line of a person whose inspection result of the metal detector 110 is normal and whose inspection result of the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 is abnormal. In this case, the person is guided to the reinspection area 2004-1, and the baggage that has passed through the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 is transported to the NG lane 2002-1.

7 is a flow line of a person whose test result of the metal detector 110 is abnormal. In this case, the person is guided to the reinspection area 2004-2, and the baggage that has passed through the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 is transported to the NG lane 2002-2.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the admission ticket ID table 4000-2 in the above embodiment. In this example, provisional information generation as shown in FIG. 3C is not performed on the assumption that the inspection with the metal detector 110 and the inspection with the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 can be performed almost simultaneously. As shown in FIG. 8, when both the human normal flag 4001 and the mono normal flag 4002 are “OK”, when the human normal flag 4001 is “OK” and the mono normal flag 4002 is “NG”, the mono normal flag 4002 is displayed. Regardless, when the human normal flag 4001 is “NG”, the processing is divided into three patterns.

The example of FIG. 7 as described above is more effective than the example of FIG. 2 in separating the object whose reinspection is a bottleneck. In this example, since it takes time for the re-inspection by the metal detector 110, the human normal flag 4001 guides the target of “NG” to the re-inspection area 2004-2. For this reason, it can be expected that the overall throughput is improved.

Further, since it becomes possible to prevent baggage possessed by a person determined to be abnormal by the metal detector 110 from staying in the NG lane 2002-1, the metal detector 110 is set to the human normal flag 4001 “OK”. The person who has passed through can immediately re-inspect the baggage in the re-inspection area 2004-1.

Furthermore, when it takes time to reexamine a person who is determined to be abnormal by the metal detector 110, there is a time until the baggage is picked up from the NG lane 2002-2. It is also possible to prioritize a package to be transported to the OK lane 2001 or the NG lane 2002-1.

In the example of FIG. 7, in order to move the load between three lanes, the load is mechanically moved using a crane-like mechanism as the lane control unit 124, but a belt conveyor having a line change function is provided. Other methods may be used.

<5. Throughput statistical analysis>
In this embodiment, since the person and the baggage owned by the person are linked, it is possible to measure the time when the person puts the baggage on the X-ray inspection apparatus 120 and the time of pick-up. The measurement data is saved in the database 205, statistical analysis is performed, and the average value and variance of the time taken for the pickup are calculated, so that the time required for each lane can be grasped.

Using the past required time and the current required time calculated in this way, visitors can be guided to an empty lane. For example, when the current required time is longer than the past required time for a certain lane, it can be seen that the lane is more crowded than usual, so that it can be guided to another lane.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and includes various modifications. For example, a part of the configuration of one embodiment can be replaced with the configuration of another embodiment, and the configuration of another embodiment can be added to the configuration of one embodiment. Further, it is possible to add, delete, and replace the configurations of other embodiments with respect to a part of the configurations of the embodiments.

Especially, it can be used for an inspection system that judges the safety of humans and baggage.
